Oh great point. I’d add skiing to that category.
I can think of two: 1. Speaking multiple languages, and 2. Perfect pitch Both are more easily learned at a young age. Are there others?
I'm excited to attend ACL Festival this year (my first time). My partner and I would like to plan out our weekend. When do we learn the stages and times for different artists? And a separate question: When can I buy this year's T-shirt? I only see 2022 for sale on the website. Thanks!

As long as it’s not automated and spammy, i’m game.
The Voynich manuscript is an illustrated codex hand-written in an unknown script referred to as 'Voynichese'. The vellum on which it is written has been carbon-dated to the early 15th century (1404–1438). Stylistic analysis indicates it may have been composed in Italy during the Italian Renaissance. The origins, authorship, and purpose of the manuscript are debated. Hypotheses suggest that it is a script for a natural language or constructed language; an unread code, cypher, or other form of cryptography; or a meaningless hoax.

Ithkuil is an experimental constructed language created by John Quijada.[1] It is designed to express more profound levels of human cognition briefly yet overtly and clearly, particularly about human categorization. It is a cross between an a priori philosophical and a logical language.

That's an interesting point about depending too heavily on a debugger. I haven't run into anyone too dependent on it, but I could see that happening.
To me, debuggers offer a tighter dev loop when there's something you're stuck on. They also let you 'grok' a call stack in an unfamiliar codebase. "Did this function get called?" "What's in this variable?" etc.

How do people do stuff without debuggers? :D
Another way to develop would be through iterating within a Unit Test that you don't plan to keep around.
Uh, I set a breakpoint and run the app?
To add a bit more context, it's more difficult to configure a debugger when the application is running within something like Docker. How difficult? That depends on the language and tools you're using.

I'm a heavy intellij user, but the git log UI always confuses me. When I open 'git log' via the action menu IntelliJ doesn't focus my current branch. I am not sure if there's some other menu I'm supposed to use to achieve that.
I do use the commit local changes, pull changes, merge branches functionality a good bit. My only feedback there is that I haven't found a way to quickly commit changes without running git hooks. Each time it requires me to open up the gear icon and deselect 'git hooks'. This is slower than using the command line where I can write git commit --no-verify
and repeat the same command again and again. I know it's a niche need, but it's necessary for testing a rather archaic system we maintain.

For my own projects I’m trying to build things I actually want. Tools for myself. But now the hard part becomes identifying a tool you wish you had, and scoping it down enough so that it’s appropriately sized for a new language. Tricky to approach the task from two ends.

I setup Anarch.is today. Feel free to create an account. Still need to write-up guidelines, enable community creation, etc. but it’s ready if you want to post/comment on other instances.
If we run into server load problems i’ll upgrade it. 😎

I think it mainly comes down to the project landing page being more friendly and the UI being more polished.
The landing page of join-lemmy.org doesn't show what the website looks like. The only screenshots are of code and github. That section is geared towards potential instance administrators, not potential users.

I just set one up via DigitalOcean and it was easy peasy. I'll see how it goes and move it if needed.
